.Thread of the heart ( for expression not debate):
1. I get angry that the majority of those in power at any level are the least deserving and often hurt others by design or neglect. It leaves me afraid to take action because I fear the negative consequences. This in turn drains the power from me and I'm left with less than I would be. The compromise is that to make change you have to get dirty.
2. I admit to loathing all those born into title. In fact I consider it a powerfully inhuman force in the world and would eradicate title and position overnight if I could make a wish.
3. I love nature and I find even in my deepest sorrow it has the power to bring healing for the time spent amongst it. The trees, meadows, rivers and seas along with the animals of all kinds and everything that fly's, swims or walks are the most precious gifts and it breaks my heart to see how we destroy it for wealth, greed and status.

That religion is used as a form of oppression and control. That we scare children with stories of hell and eternal damnation just because they might get curious.
While ever there is Religion and money there will be corruption and greed. Fact of life. Ask Sepp if he is religious. I bet he's not. That leaves greed.
My dad's bigger than yours is like my religion is right, etc.
I think bad people find a way to be bad and somewhere to hide; religion, the bbc,America, Hollywood, power brokers, despots, paedophiles, etc, just need a place to hide. Be it an individual, an idea, or a behaviour it (pervasive corruption of the ideal) masquerades as something else. religion is full of worthy things but in the hands of subhumans it is exploited.
